ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

The archive including compositions not published for whatever reasons, the "draft" or defective records, that notorious " a black box ", is at each composer - an another matter, what not everyone allows to glance in it even to the devoted admirers. Fortunately, American executor Mark Dwane on a regular basis (well, time in 12 years precisely) opens access to the archives. "Fortunately" it is mentioned not simply for the sake of a witty remark, actually "Archives", as well as Mark's number albums, will easily give odds to its many colleagues on shop of electronic music.

Actually, the reason on which these things not were is published earlier, simple and at all is not covered as the presented material. The matter is that, creating each album, Mark tries to adhere рамок to stylistics and the concept, and those things which, been born spontaneously during studio vigils and in the basic concept not entered, send to a box while in it a lot of material for next "Archive" will not be typed. That's all. In all the rest is an excellent music of well proved musician in what creativity sounding synthesizers and guitars organically incorporates, generating a new sight at canons of " classical electronics ". This new sight basically is inspired by New time and the New science which has been not accepted by official scientists, but enabling imagination to reveal to the full. Always showing interest to innovative technologies, Дуэйн also actively was interested in philosophy and космогонией НьюЭйдж, why in its products came to life theories about interstellar travel and prophecies майя, about cities on Mars and contacts to extraterrestrial forms of a life.

The basic themes of its creativity are presented to the full on the second collection of "Archives" which opens a track " Tribal Flux ", leaving in an aesthetics of "archaic" rhythms, rituals and трансовых conditions - here we see also spirals of the galaxies was once the house for new поселенцев of the Earth, and fires of ancient caves under which arches the original history was transformed to legends. " Prophecy " gravitates more to неоклассическим to forms, here, in a little bit baroque frame, there is a female vocal which sings in a following track a song of the mysterious siren put on an intricate mosaic of a sequence and a guitar psychedelia, and in " Orion "," hammering " memory of a sequencer, turns to a mysterious song-call of far star system. East intonations naturally appear in " New Mecca ", narrating in the мистериальной to a manner about search of the new worlds and spiritual reference points - most likely, looking, according to current conditions in the world, really, will be moslems and they will search for new Mecca among star congestions. " Meld " - abstract enough, experimental thing showing any processes behind a side of perception. Travel on phases of a dream and in the world of the realized dreams passes immersing under smoothly current guitar parties imposed against each other and on chillout ` ный a rhythm, in which as in the majority of tracks of an album, the bass line prevails, becoming one of distinctive bases of music of Mark. Here already it is much more new age ` a - both in mood, and in sounding. Technological, but no more that, the thing "Clones" concedes the ending grandiose guitar space ambient ` at " Solar Array ", inviting in fascinating quantum flight in a stream of a solar energy.

"Archives" evidently show Mark's perfected style in which the priest-fatal rhythms prevail of monotonous sequences "берлинки", to a composition (frequently in песенной, "припевно-куплетной") develop for short enough time, being in time completely to inform the form up to the listener of an idea and idea of the author, imagination designing by force the whole worlds on borders of the past and the future.
